Beau Is Afraid & Evil Dead Rise (Movie Squad Podcast #119)
On the Movie Squad podcast this week, your intrepid reviewers Tristan Fidler and Cecilia Allen discuss two new movies out in cinemas!
Tristan takes a darkly comic odyssey with the latest film from A24 Studios and director-writer Ari Aster with Beau Is Afraid, which stars Joaquin Phoenix as the title character, Beau, a nervous middle-aged sad sack who has booked a flight to visit his mother and begins to encounter surreal, violent obstacles on his journey.
Then Cecilia peeks into the darkness for the new entry in the Evil Dead horror movie franchise with Evil Dead Rise, which shifts the ‘cabin in the woods’ location of the previous movies into an apartment building where the reunion of two sisters (Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland) is interrupted by the unleashing of an ancient undead evil brought to light by an earthquake.
Movie Squad airs live every Friday morning at 7:30am during Breakfast With Taylah on RTRFM 92.1. Stay tuned to the end of the podcast for additional movie chat where Tristan and Cecilia discuss what they love about the Evil Dead movies and their favourite Joaquin Phoenix performances!
